Chrysler: Look at yourselves Republicans

Looks like Chrysler, which is privately owned by rich Republicans, is pulling all its right-wing strings in DC to get it a piece of that auto bailout $$$.

Defense contractors. Big oil. Big pharma. Same thing for the past 8 years in which this Republican Administration has spent trillions and pulled every regulatory string to help its buds without any regard for everyone else. This is what you are about. While the top of the party goes on its personal feeding frenzy with your taxpayer dollars, they whip you up with issues like anti-stem cell research, anti-gay marriage, anti-liberal this and and liberal that. If you are a Republican making under 200K a year, you are getting played. Big time.

PS I am still for the auto bailout, but not to help rich Republicans. Rather I am strongly for it to help America because the terrible fallout due to one of these companies going under right now. I point this out to help Republicans understand their party's motivations and what their party is truly about.

Nevertheless, the finger-wagging was partisan...and you've got a pretty odd idea of what constitutes "name-calling."

What the chart doesn't show is that it's "the rich" who are paying the lion's share in all of those states and liberals who are receiving the most.

You obviously missed the entire point of my post...the "propaganda" aspect occurs when the numbers are presented to make a false case by removing their historical context. And while I think the "national debt clock" is cute, it's becoming more and more amusing to see libs hypocritically mention "the debt" after having voted for a guy who's promised to address the issue by spending trillions and trillions more. LOL!

Do you have a link on that, because I can't remember any study being done in that light.
